Well, I'm happy to announce that I've completed a similar trio: that of former pitcher Steve Howe:

This Gold auto is the last one I needed, and it became mine for under $7 delivered, which isn't bad considering how much some of these can go for. As others did, Steve signed a total of 5000 of his cards, broken up into Bronze (3500), Silver (1000), and Gold (500). Those print runs seem large today but were minuscule by 1996 standards!

Here's all three cards for your viewing pleasure:

With that one out of the way, I currently own 80 of Howe's 81 cards, and just need to track down his 1994 Stadium Club Team First Day Issue parallel. I've never seen it for sale in any of the usual places I buy cards (or a few others I generally don't) but I'll keep my eyes peeled, and I hope some of you will too!

Congratulations on completing the rainbow. Howe had such a promising career. Heck even with his drug issues, he still had a pretty productive MLB career. It's just a shame he passed away at such a young age.
